(本文寫於2011/03/21,華語領隊考完隔天對答案剛好及格!ㄎㄎ,算是雙喜臨門囉!)

從3/8接到電話知道我體檢通過之後
一直到3/21(一)的下午兩點終於收到了IEC Letter of Introduction


信的內容如下:



Dear Mr. / Ms. Chen, XXX-XXX,

This refers to your application for a work permit as part of the International Experience Canada Program.

Your application to work in Canada has been approved! Relevant information has been transmitted to the ports of entry so that appropriate documentation can be issued to you on arrival. You may now travel to Canada with your passport or travel documents. Upon arrival at a Canadian port of entry, an officer will review the information to ensure that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and its Regulations before issuing your work permit.

In order to facilitate your examination at the port of entry, please inform the officer of the reason for your visit to Canada and have this letter in hand.


IMPORTANT: You only have until 1/23/2012 (mm/dd/yy) to ‘activate’ your work permit by presenting this letter to a port of entry (POE) officer upon your arrival. If the officer is satisfied that your entry to Canada is not contrary to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and its Regulations, you will be issued a work permit valid for a period of up to one year. You may only work for the duration of time indicated on your work permit. If you have any questions about this, please ask the officer at the POE or contact a local CIC office.

Too, as an IEC participant, please ensure that you have the following documents / information with you for presentation upon your arrival at the POE:

* a return or departure ticket or proof of sufficient to purchase a return ticket at the beginning of your stay in Canada;

* proof of comprehensive travel medical insurance which will cover your period of travel in Canada;

* proof of possessing sufficient funds to cover your initial living expenses while in Canada. At the very least, this should be the equivalent of $2500 CAD ($75,000 NTD).


If your first port of entry to Canada will be Vancouver, please note the following new information:
There are new procedures in place at Vancouver Airport which will enable you to avoid the usual waiting times at the Primary Inspection Lines for customs and immigration processes. Please ensure that you have your Pre-approved letter for a work permit clearly visible in your hands before entering the customs area. You will be directed to a special immigration inspection area. You will be able to complete all custom and immigration formalities here and then proceed to pick up your luggage and proceed out of the customs hall.

All workers in Canada, including foreign workers, are protected by the relevant labour and employment laws. All workers in Canada are entitled to work in a safe workplace where their health is protected. If an employer does not pay the wages to which a worker is entitled, a worker can file a complaint with the federal, provincial or territorial department responsible for employment standards.

THIS IS A COMPUTER GENERATED FORM. SIGNATURE IS NOT REQUIRED.

THIS LETTER IN ITSELF IS NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL AND DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO REMAIN IN CANADA. A VALID PASSPORT OR TRAVEL DOCUMENT IS ALSO REQUIRED.

Dear participant,

Welcome to International Experience Canada,

In the first part of this message, you have received your Letter of Introduction from the Visa and Immigration section of the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei that outlines the next steps for your trip to Canada. The goal of International Experience Canada (IEC) is to facilitate access to Canada for you to discover our country through a travel, work and life experience.


To better understand the experience that foreign participants have in Canada through International Experience Canada with the goal of improving the process, we invite you to share your views about your experience in our short on-line survey at this Web address: http://dfait-maeci.sondages-surveys.ca/s/IEC-IEC/langen/

If at any time during your stay in Canada you would like to comment on your experience to the Canadian government, you may contact International Experience Canada at: experience@international.gc.ca

Our hope is that this will be, if not the first, the next step in a life-long positive relationship with Canada and Canadians. We wish you every success in your Canadian adventure.


Sincerely,

International Experience Canada section

批哩啪啦寫了一堆英文
我乍看之下第一個反應就是:『GOD!阿是寫啥鬼怎麼寫這麼多?』
然後第二個反應就是完全定不下心來慢慢看(我覺得這也是我英文爛的主因之一)

從以前到現在
我只要一看到一大篇英文,我就認為我一定看不懂
所以第一次就看超快胡亂看一通(當然一定看不懂)
第二次會稍微慢一點,慢慢念
通常很多單字我都念得出來,也都知道我以前高中學過,可是中文到底是啥意思我就是想不起來
也常常就是因為這些關鍵的單字不知道意思,所以很快的我又放棄不想看了
然後就歸咎於自己的英文真的好爛
接著就是自暴自棄的一堆OOXX.....



今天一開始也有一樣的念頭(畢竟我已經當了三十幾年的英文縮頭烏龜了)
可是後來想想如果我連這麼重要的信都不好好研究一下
那我去到加拿大我是要怎樣跟人家寫履歷找工作或是面試?


衝著這一點!我告訴自己一定要硬起來(還好我是女的,不然講這句話好害羞喔!ㄎㄎ)
所以我深呼吸一口氣決定這次一定要認真的研讀英文

第一行,是我的名字,這我懂我懂,真開心!(哈!安慰自己好的開始是成功的一半嘛!)
第二行,夭壽喔!refers to是什麼?permit是啥鬼??
天阿!!一整行我好像懂但是又因為一個片語和一個單字的中文想不起來所以又不懂了(泣)


正當我又出現了想放棄的念頭的時候
我超想給自己一拳的
心想:吼,我真的很容易放棄英文!怎麼辦??以前英文老師總是說每一段的第一句最重要,可是我第一句就不懂了,這樣是要怎樣活啊?

同一時間
我的腦袋又響起了一句:『好啦!再多看一行啦!搞不好第三行就懂啦!』的勸勉

天人交戰的結果,我又重看了一次第二行,可是還是似懂非懂
所以我決定!好!不管了,看看第三行會不會單字剛好都是我的好朋友!!


『Your application to work in Canada has been approved! 』

阿阿阿阿阿~~~~我尖叫了
什麼都看不懂沒關係!
這一句看懂我就安心啦!!
哈哈哈~~~~就這麼唯一一句『你申請的加拿大打工度假被認可了』我看懂了
帥!!阿我不就是在等這句話嗎???

吼!!!超想當場來個獅王般的嘶吼
吼~~~
口孔~~~~
所以英文爛沒關係!只要關鍵句看懂就好了!對吧??
哈哈哈哈~~~


於是,我又找到了一個爛藉口安慰自己
然後你知道的
就是......
就是.......
就是.........
我一開心之後的結果,就是這封信我還是沒有認真給他徹頭徹尾的看完(羞)





好啦好啦!我承認我真的很不應該啦!
所以在PO文的此刻我真的從頭到尾認真的把信看完了,不認識的單字也查了

總而言之我離加拿大真的又更進一步了
我會加油的!
我.一.定.要.學.好.英.文!!!(怒吼!)
